Chair's Message

The current, unprecedented pandemic has strengthened the knowledge that science and research are the backbones of medical advancement.

The AFMR Eastern Section Council invites you to join together with us — more united than ever — to promote the mission and goals of AFMR. As an Eastern Region AFMR member, you can submit top quality research and presentations for the 2021 meeting, apply for AFMR National Awards and publish your studies in AFMR journals.

Our 2020 Eastern Regional Meeting was cancelled because of coronavirus, but we held a successful, interactive Virtual Awards Ceremony in June. You can view the ceremony, as well as see the Eastern Regional Meeting virtual presentations on the AFMR Virtual Education Portal. Our current plan is to hold an in-person meeting on April 2, 2021 in Washington, DC.

We look forward to your active participation in the Eastern Region and welcome you to contribute your expertise and ideas.

Theo Trandafirescu, MD
Eastern Section Chair
